So I saw The Last Airbender

Sweet baby Jesus, that was a terrible movie.

We went to see it because my mother loves natural-disaster-type effects. Like, 2012 was basically her catnip. So she sees commercials with all this water and fire flying around and she is like, YES. THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR ME.

Okay, Mom, give the people a verdict. Two sentences: what did you think? )

conversations with my mother, movie discussion, movies, my mother

I wish Rathbone didn't do that weird thing of talking through his teeth all throughout Twilight, because he's got about the best character in the thing by this point.

I really was not looking forward to Eclipse due to how he was in Twilight..but I was so happy and pleasantly surprised when I saw Eclipse...it's like he completely loosened up and looked badass doing it.

His acting itself was fine, but the talking through his teeth was distracting. I'm not sure whether he thought that that was Southern or what.

The thing with Jasper is, I've seen interviews where Jackson has said his family is from Texas, and he kind of already has that accent. So if Jasper is also from Texas (something else I got from a Rathbone interview. I don't know anything about Twilight that people haven't just told me) then why is trying to put on accent? Why not just use his own?

The problem is M. Night Shyamalan.

The problem is ALWAYS M. Night Shyamalan. Seriously, the man is a fucking disaster and should be banned from filmmaking forever for pure unadulterated badness.

I cannot tell you how happy your icon makes me. Clue is one of the best movies EVER. Just wanted to say.

I think MNight is trying to make his movies so bad that they end up as cult classics? But I'm not sure....I adored The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable...then Lady in the Water happened...then The Happening and I wanted to be one of the people that was killed by trees. I just don't understand why he's directing that way either.

I want to see this movie for the laughs....but I don't want to be uncomfortable about it. Like I want to be able to pause it and shoot myself in the head before continuing on the atrocity.

I think going to a movie for the laughs is best done in the middle of the day, or at like a dollar theater. Like I'll have more fun with Prince of Persia when I can sing the Market Place song from Aladdin during the flashback.

I have not seen Prince of Persia yet but the previews always send me into an Aladdin nostalgia

Seriously, there's a part where little street urchin Dustyn saves another child street urchin from a mean noble and then runs around the roof tops. I had to bite my lip to keep from sing "one step,"

Sweet Jesus, YES! There is not enough headdesk or D: in the world to convey my disgust with this movie.

He has an absolute tin ear for fantasy. Lady in the Water was his own damn story, and it was like listening to a six-year-old try to describe the last episode of Lost.
